To the Editor:
Once again I would like to cn
courage the people o f Morrow
C’Ounty to join me in saying ’ ’ yes"
tt> the proposed school budget This
endorsement d*»es not mean that I
believe this budget is perfect In fact.
I believe that in fear o f an*nhcr
round o f hitter budget lights the
School Hoard has not asked lor
enough funds to meet the needs o f
our schools Ihe cuts and deferrals
made in facility maintenance and
capital replacement w ill surely haunt
us the years ahead
this
budget deserves to be passed because
it is responsive to the w ill «if the
voters expressed several times this
past year.
Some nuy be counting on the
state's "salcty net" proposal as an
answer to rising sch««ol tosis f-or a
district like ours with an mailcqualc
tax base, increasing and shifting stu
dent popuiatKW. extra transportalHm
needs, and de clin in g non tax
revenues, this ‘ ‘ net" w ill he a noose
if it g«>cs into effect Either a net or
a noose w ill do the job ol keeping
us from hitting the ground, but the
long-tcmt results would be quite d if
ferent It is obvious that this measure
w ill m»t relieve Morrow County
voters «if «*ur obligation t«i vtiic
responsibly to maintain quality
schools
lari's keep Morrow County o ff
this year's list o f financially troubl
ed school districts lari's give «>ur
leat hers, schtml employee's, children
and parents some peace «if mind by
passing this school budget «in
T uesday
Sincerely.
